Dirt back to green dirt

[Nimre]

Is there any way to do that? Just like turn dirt into clay with water?

[Kreigan]

Only way is to use command to replace dirt blocks by grass,

If you are on local ,you can get grass block with command :
giveitemnum 913 100 0 0

This will give you 100 blocks.

If you are on a server, you need admin right in order to do so.

Thanks but I am in online server :(

Gonna have to ask a admin to give you the blocks then

Should be a mechanic for doing it in game. Even something like a grass seed we could plant.

Have you tried a paint brush with green paint?

[Crom (Not that one)]

Doesn't it come back overtime?

[Kreigan]

no, once you destoy a grass block, i'ts gone forever.
I hope they can patch it so it regrows or add a recipe so we can create some grass without having to cheat.
That could be a good use for fertilizer on dirt for example :D

Indeed. There was actually a mechanic for this in Ark. I forget what it was called, but it was a varient of fertilizer that would restore anything in a small area to its natural state. Something like this could also be how players could restore blocks later on when things are getting scarce.

I noticed that a dirt block placed underwater gets grass. Like if irrigated, grass would regrow. So the mechanic is here, but apparently not working with rain.

[Kreigan]

Are you sure about that ? When i place a dirt block underwater, I get clay, not grass.

[Gurdil Cul-Brillant]

Somehow I'm not able to reproduce it, so... I'm not so sure anymore.
I did see it happen tho, was few patch ago and on a previous map, in some grassland pond. But it might be because the space where I placed was initially occupied by a dirt block I mined, so water was just above. I need to test it out.

That or.. I'm wrong and took my wishes for reality

[RasaNova]

You might be right. I remember trying to find clay on my first day and a tribe mate insisted I only had to put dirt in water. But as much as I tried, all I got was dirt.

So there are probably other factors involved, or it changed in an update.

What is this, California? :P

That’s actually not a bad idea, if it works...

As anyone attempted to use Bone Dust or whatever it is called? The description says something about being a fertilizer, maybe it works like in Minecraft. I haven't tried it yet, but it could work.

Edit: Just attempted, it has no option to use it other than in a crop plot. It does provide a decent amount of fertillizer. 10 Bone Ash provided 54000 fertilizer.
